Absolute Viscosity - The tangential force on unit area of either of two parallel planes at unit distance apart when the space between the planes is filled with the fluid in question and one of the planes moves with unit differential velocity in its own plane. The C.G.S. unit for absolute (or dynamic) viscosity is poise (dyne-sec./sq. cm.). Centipoise (0.01) is often used.
